Key benefits
- Accurate blood ketone monitoring specifically measures beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) for more relevant ketone data.
- Fast results: readouts in approximately 5 seconds for quick decision-making.
- 50-test supply: economical pack size for regular monitoring and long-term use.
- Device compatibility: designed for use with FreeStyle Optium series meters for consistent performance.
- Suitable for diabetes and keto care: ideal for people with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, those on ketogenic diets, and caregivers.
Ingredients and Materials
Freestyle Optium B Ketone Strips are single-use plastic test strips with a reagent pad formulated for enzymatic detection of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) in capillary whole blood. The reagent system contains enzymes and stabilisers optimized for accurate blood ketone measurements when used with compatible FreeStyle Optium meters. Strips are supplied in a sealed container to protect from moisture and contamination.
How to Use
- Wash and dry hands before testing to ensure clean capillary blood.
- Insert a Freestyle Optium B ketone strip into a compatible FreeStyle Optium meter until the meter powers on.
- Use a lancing device to obtain a capillary blood sample (small drop).
- Apply the blood to the sample area of the strip. Avoid smearing the sample.
- Wait for the meter to display the blood ketone result (typically ~5 seconds).
- Discard the used strip and lancet after a single use. Record results as required for diabetes care or ketogenic monitoring.
Who It’s For
Freestyle Optium B Ketone Strips are suitable for:
- People with Type 1 diabetes who need to monitor ketones during illness or high glucose events.
- People with Type 2 diabetes at risk of ketosis or who require ketone testing as advised by a healthcare professional.
- Individuals following a ketogenic or low-carb diet tracking ketone levels for metabolic goals.
- Caregivers and healthcare professionals performing point-of-care ketone testing.
Caution & Storage
Caution: For in vitro diagnostic use only. Single-use strips — do not reuse. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the vial seal is broken or if strips are expired. Consult a healthcare professional for interpretation of ketone results and management of high ketone levels. This product is not a replacement for medical advice or treatment.
Storage: Store strips in the original vial with cap tightly closed. Recommended storage temperature is between 4°C and 30°C (39°F–86°F). Protect from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use strips immediately after removing from the vial and dispose of used strips responsibly.
